x86: fix up a few misc stack pointer vs thread_info confusions

2016-06-24T23:55:53+00:00

As the actual pointer value is the same for the thread stack allocation
and the thread_info, code that confused the two worked fine, but will
break when the thread info is moved away from the stack allocation.  It
also looks very confusing.

For example, the kprobe code wanted to know the current top of stack.
To do that, it used this:

	(unsigned long)current_thread_info() + THREAD_SIZE

which did indeed give the correct value.  But it's not only a fairly
nonsensical expression, it's also rather complex, especially since we
actually have this:

	static inline unsigned long current_top_of_stack(void)

which not only gives us the value we are interested in, but happens to
be how "current_thread_info()" is currently defined as:

	(struct thread_info *)(current_top_of_stack() - THREAD_SIZE);

so using current_thread_info() to figure out the top of the stack really
is a very round-about thing to do.

The other cases are just simpler confusion about task_thread_info() vs
task_stack_page(), which currently return the same pointer - but if you
want the stack page, you really should be using the latter one.

And there was one entirely unused assignment of the current stack to a
thread_info pointer.

All cleaned up to make more sense today, and make it easier to move the
thread_info away from the stack in the future.

No semantic changes.

x86: avoid avoid passing around 'thread_info' in stack dumping code

2016-06-23T19:20:01+00:00

None of the code actually wants a thread_info, it all wants a
task_struct, and it's just converting to a thread_info pointer much too
early.

No semantic change.

x86/dumpstack: Combine some printk()s

2016-03-31T13:33:03+00:00

Long ago, Jiri Slaby noted that the subsequent printk()s should be
pr_cont(). Let's instead get rid of the multiple printk calls.

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

x86: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

We can use debug_pagealloc_enabled() to check if we can map the identity
mapping with 2MB pages.  We can also add the state into the dump_stack
output.

The patch does not touch the code for the 1GB pages, which ignored
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.  Do we need to fence this as well?

x86/kernel: Fix output of show_stack_log_lvl()

2015-02-23T17:34:42+00:00

show_stack_log_lvl() does not set the log level after a new line, the
following messages printed with pr_cont() are thus assigned to the
default log level.

This patch prepends the log level to the next message following a new
line.

print_trace_address() uses printk(log_lvl). Using printk() with just
a log level is ignored and thus has no effect on the next pr_cont().
We need to prepend the log level directly into the message.

x86_64: add KASan support

2015-02-14T05:21:41+00:00

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer.

16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory.  It's located in range
[ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup
stacks.

At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page.  Latter, after
pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from
corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real
shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function.

Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized.  __pa with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr)
__phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow
area initialized.
